One of the same scientific principles that helps us to explain how centrifugal pumps function may also help us to understand how aeroplanes fly. Consultant Joe Askew explores these concepts and looks at how they apply to our pumps, planes and some other common devices that we see in our industrial and everyday lives. Let us begin by laying a little groundwork to gain some insights into our principles of interest. The Conservation of Energy Law is fundamental to many aspects of science and engineering. It states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; we can only transform energy from one form into another. This law is one of the principle results of the study of thermodynamics - the branch of science that describes the interrelationship and interconversion of different forms of energy.
